Cover Story: Cosmetic formulations based on natural ingredients have received increased consumer attention due to health, safety, and sustainability concerns. European regulations mandate manufacturers to assess the safety of all cosmetic products, including those from natural sources. This assessment includes evaluating microbial and chemical hazards, and the local and systemic risks associated with natural substances. The ban on animal-based toxicological testing for cosmetic ingredients necessitates the rapid adoption, validation, and regulatory acceptance of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). Additionally, restrictions apply to certain naturally occurring bioactive compounds with allergenic properties. This paper provides an in-depth discussion of the legal and safety aspects of natural cosmetic ingredients and products in the European Union. View this paper
